Vox understands that Primo de Rivera's family wants to exhume José Antonio to avoid another "show"

MADRID, 11 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Vox spokesman in Congress, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, understands that the family of José Antonio Primo de Rivera has requested the exhumation of the founder of the Falange del Valle de los Caídos to prevent the Government from making "a show" with its remains.

"If I had an uncle who was going to try to submit to another show - which I think would be the fourth or fifth transfer of remains - I would also transfer my uncle's remains to another place," he commented in a conference press in Congress.

But for the leader of Vox, what is important is not the request that the family of Primo de Rivera has transferred to the Government before the entry into force of the Democratic Memory Law, but the content of that law, which he has branded as "irresponsible, senseless and unpresentable" because, in his opinion, he seeks to "divide and confront" Spanish society.

From his point of view, listening to the promoters of that law and also of its predecessor, the 2007 Historical Memory Law, it would seem that "99%" of the population during the Civil War "was democratic and good" and the other 1% was "very bad" and "fascist".

"What I don't understand is how one percent won, I say that there would be half Spain on one side and the other half on the other," he added, emphasizing that "probably" in the family tree of most citizens there are people "on both sides".

But Espinosa has stressed that, with the Transition, Spain achieved "concord" and decided not to be "constantly stirring up the past to generate hatred and division" which, in his opinion, is what the Government is doing with the new memory law.
